Jimmy Dee
one of the original Rock 'n' Roll artists
Jimmy Dee in the 1980s Music makes such great memories
Forty years later, when parted are those who were singing then,
and you look back in dream-like wonder, what you were like back in the day.
Then, it may be, they will come back to you, glimpses of notes from an old song,
visions of youth floating before them, echoes of dreamland shall bear them along,
and for a few moments you are young again. All this in the notes of an old song. -- Jimmy Dee

In recent years, he was best known for his summer appearances at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Home of The Shag, and at the Hang Out in Panama City, Florida, where he recreated the 1950s and brought back the “Bop.” He appeared in Calgary, Canada to a sold out house and returned several times to Memphis where he received standing ovations. His performances in Germany and France were highly successful.
Oldies is the music Jimmy loves. He was there, years ago, when it wasn’t called the oldies. He was part of the creation of Rock 'n' Roll music and is considered a Rockabilly great.

Expertly performing traditional rock, pop, and doo wop, Jimmy Dee provided it all, with the great sound, lights, and action expected from a seasoned professional entertainer. He and his band did much more than just play great music… they entertained audiences with their fantastic choreography, Jimmy’s acrobatic drumming and hilarious stage antics… not to mention his performance of the great songs of the fabulous 1950s and the sensational 1960s. “It’s an Oldies Act that was worth waiting for…” said a client.
